Nothing to say

Starbucks can eat a dick.
There’s a new creperie that has opened up on SW 8th St in Miami. It’s at about 143rd Ave, pretty far out west. You can see the mostly completed shopping center here. The place is awesome, and Starbucks (who hasn’t even finished their store yet) has already sued them for selling coffee. What the eff, people. Starbucks can totally eat a dick.

Apple can also eat a dick. They voided the warranty on Kia’s macbook, because someone had apparently spilled something on it. That’s true. I did. Last January. Over FOUR MONTHS before the hard drive just up and died. You’re going to tell me that those things are related? Eat a dick. So here’s what happened. I bought a new macbook today. It came with a free (after rebate) HP all-in-one printer/scanner and a free (after rebate) iPod Nano 4gb. So I got both “free” items with her laptop. And I’m going to put a new HD in the old macbook and keep it. Then sell my old ibook. And we’re replacing our Canon MP150 with the HP C4280. It’s smaller, cuter, and has a built-in card reader for CF, SD, and crap we don’t care about (because CF and SD are all we have/need/use). Who knows how long the rebates will take, so I withhold judgement on that. And I got the red iPod, which means I donated 10$ to Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.  That’s cool.  I also complained about the complete warranty dis, when the case on her old macbook was cracked and chipping away (A KNOWN ISSUE, they told me)  and the assistant manager at the Apple Store in The Falls (mall in Pinecrest, FL) was super freaking awesome.  He hooked Kia and I up with 50$ in whatever accessories we wanted.  She found an AWESOME case (the Incase Canvas Sleeve) and I found the matching case for the iPod nano.  Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.  Both came to over 50, but he still took 50 off the total.  So nice.  I’m very happy with that.  $50 doesn’t make up for some shabby build quality of a $1200 device, though, so Apple (in general, not the assistant manager at the falls) can totally eat a dick.

Apple’s iTunes Store can eat a massive dick, too.  They’re getting a double dose tonight for requiring me to setup an account so that I can add the album art to my existing (legal!!!) mp3s, ripped from my own discs, which I bought and still own.  Not only am I required to setup an account, but for that account, I’m required to enter my credit card info.  Hell No.  Jerks.  Eat a dick.

Miami, you can eat all the dick in the world.  I’m serious.  Shittiest town I’ve ever lived in.  Machismo.  Train horns on massive pickups.  Jerks at the laundromat spilling my coffee and offering not so much as even an acknowledgment that they did it, let alone an apology for having done it.  Eat your OWN dick.  I understand there are some cultural differences, and maybe standing AGAINST me instead of just next to me doesn’t seem like … completely uncomfortable to you.  Still, it’s remarkably uncomfortable for me, but I realize that I can’t just make you conform to MY feeling.  We have to find some mutual understanding - some middle ground where we can both get along.  But it goes above and beyond that.  This city is populated with selfish, inconsiderate, uncaring, completely self-serving assholes.  I’m not saying that because I’m still angry.  I’m over today’s transgressions.  It’s just a fact.  Miami fucking sucks.  So it can find its way to the nearest all-you-can-eat dick buffet.

Cheers.  I’m going to load a few more album-art-less tracks to my iPod (whose battery, two months from now, will surely last a full maximum of 2hrs).
